I very much enjoyed his work as The Rock in WWE, but I don’t think he’s really yet found his “born to play” part. He’s good in everything he does, but the films that he anchors don’t tend to be terribly memorable.

Mr. King would like a word.

I’m not all that familiar with Dr Strange in the comics, so I will be able to watch this movie more like an average audience member than one who knows all the little details and tidbits.

Assuming The Inhumans film doesn’t get shitcanned, which sounds likely at this point.

Agreed. There’s some good elements to the show (David Harewood, Chyler Leigh, and Melissa Benoist have been the anchors from the beginning) and some really bad elements (recycled love triangle angst/drama/silliness, unconvincing cardboard villains). There’s been times when Supergirl seems like it is finally getting…

I would prefer to see CBS drop it and let CW take it over. If they gave it some of the charm and tighter storytelling that The Flash has, Supergirl could be another solid addition to the DC TV universe.

That was actually my favorite episode of the entire series thus far (followed closely by Red Tornado). The show has some really good elements, but it’s often hamstrung by the lack of a villain with any gravitas and its reversion to tired romantic tropes. With some retooling, I think the show could really become…

I used to watch all the TV spots and clips when I was younger, but these days I usually just keep it at the trailers. The trailers give me all the info I need to know about whether the movie will be worth watching or not. A bunch of half-minute clips won’t change that either way.

Some of the better villains are also not currently in their film rights either.

That’s true. I forgot about that one.

I thought it a missed opportunity to explore the fact that Ultron was essentially the dark side of Tony Stark.

Having rewatched AoU the other day, the most obvious set up pieces are Ulysses Klaw (which the average audience member wouldn’t recognize) and the visions of Asgard and the Infinity Gauntlet (which fits given what they’re building to, but the whole Infinity Well bit was really clunky). Neither bit brings the movie to…

That’s what they should’ve aimed to do. Man of Steel was a good start. Man of Steel 2 should’ve introduced Bruce Wayne/Batman and Lex Luthor into the mix and the third film should’ve been this one after having already established both characters and planting seeds for other DCEU characters. Jamming multiple movies…

AoU was good, but I would’ve liked if the final battle wasn’t just a giant free for all against thousands of faceless bad guys again.

Agreed. It was just one of many things that didn’t fit in the movie. It was like somebody dropped a box of scenes all over the floor and then spliced them all together in whatever order they were picked up in.

I didn’t mind Wonder Woman being in the movie, but I thought it was a bit of a misjudgment to plaster her all over the marketing. It would’ve been a sweet moment to see in theaters if it hadn’t already been spoiled. That said, the laptop sequence was okay. The one that I felt was really out of place was the Flash’s…

She never geled with Hemsworth on screen at all and her absence was really not felt.

I believe the MCU would’ve occurred anyway, but it probably would’ve been a significantly scaled back venture. The Avengers probably would’ve been a bigger budget picture, but all the preceding films likely would’ve been done for less than they were already.

A movie with the combined might of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman should NEVER lose the top box office spot to a so-so comedy just 2 weeks after release. That said, BvS will make money, but it has significantly damaged audience desire and trust to see more films in that same universe.

Sort of, yes. But the difference is that BvS’s setups bring the film to a cold stall whereas AoU’s were a bit more integrated and don’t bring the story crashing into a wall.
